Laser or photoepilator: choose the best method of hair removal

Laser and photoepilation are the most popular and modern methods of hair removal. Despite the fact that the mechanism of action is similar, each method has its own specifics. Both in the first and in the second case, the melanin that is contained in the hair is heated, which leads to its destruction. To approach the issue of vegetation removal by such methods must be selective. To understand what is best for each individual person - a laser epilator or a photoepilator, it is necessary to take into account some factors and features of the skin.

Distinctive characteristic of systems

From a very early age, girls and women are concerned about the problem of excess vegetation. Modern technologies allow you to make hair removal procedure painlessly and without consequences.Both laser and photoepilator will get rid of unwanted hair for a long time. Let us consider the differences methods.

Laser hair removal

The principle of operation of the laser epilator is the action of the laser wave on melanin. At the same time, the pigment is heated and destroyed with the hair follicle. The light beam has a specific wavelength, and the radiation is narrowly directed. This is the main distinguishing parameter in comparison with the photoepilation system. The laser has an effect exclusively on the melanin of the hair, while it does not have an effect on hemoglobin and melanin, which is contained in the skin around the hairs.

After a few days, the hair falls out, and the skin becomes smooth and supple. Considering the peculiarities of the structure and color of the hair, in 5 procedures 90% of unwanted vegetation can be removed. If the hair is thick and dark, the number of manipulations will be more, and they will be longer.

Laser wave has a limited coverage. Processing the skin on the legs, you need to be patient, because the procedure takes a long time.

Photoepilation

The action of the photoepilator is different from the laser, in that it emits a lot light waves of different lengths. Due to such specificity, simultaneously a devastating effect has on the whole area of ​​hair follicles. The number of procedures in this technique is greater than in working with a laser epilator. Due to the different wavelengths of the light wave, the degree of its action on melanin is not the same, and it may be necessary to process several sections of the same sections, on average 2-3 times with a break of 3 weeks.

The photoepilator has a wider coverage area and in one action processes more hair. The apparatus can adjust the power of the heat beam. If the skin is dark, the power must be reduced. Problem may occur with gray hairs: hair removal with such a device will not have very high efficiency. In this case, when choosing a laser or a photoepilator, it is worthwhile to lean towards the first option.

The difference with the laser device is to regularly replace the lamp. Every 2-3 sessions it is necessary to change.

The photoepilator is different in its action from the laser in that it is equally effective for blondes and brunettes, and there is no difference what color the skin is, and this is its great advantage. Given the fact that hair removal is carried out faster due to a larger coverage area of ​​hair per flash, the device can be considered almost universal. The most popular models among users are HPLight and Sensepil.
